Definitions
- the present invention is directed to preservatives, compositions containing preservatives, and methods for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.
- compositions are susceptible to contamination by microorganisms such as bacteria.
- Such compositions include, but are by no means limited to, personal care products such as shampoos, cosmetics, and soaps and household products such as laundry detergents, hard surface cleaners, fabric softeners and the like.
- preservatives are frequently added to the formula.
- the contaminating microorganisms are, however, adaptable and, with time, often become immune to the preservative. Therefore, there is a continuing need for new preservatives which will inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
- an object of the present invention to provide a new preservative, compositions containing the new preservative, and methods for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a preservative comprising two components which inhibit the growth of microorganisms synergistically in the presence of each other.
- a first component selected from the group consisting of benzoic acid, formaldehyde, a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in a ratio of about 5:1 to 1:5, benzisothiazalone, and mixtures thereof;
- a second component having the following formula: ##STR3## wherein x is about 2 to 33 and r is H or CH 3 and mixtures thereof; wherein said second component is present in an amount at which said second component acts synergistically with said first component to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
- the present invention provides a composition suitable for use as a personal care product or a household product, said composition being susceptible to contamination by microorganisms, comprising a preservative in an amount sufficient to kill or to inhibit the growth of said microorganisms wherein said preservative comprises:
- a first component selected from the group consisting of benzoic acid, formaldehyde, a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in a ratio of about 5:1 to 1:5, benzisothiazalone, and mixtures thereof;
- a second component having the following formula: ##STR4## and mixtures thereof; wherein said second component is present in an amount which acts synergistically with said first component to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
- the present invention provides a method for killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms comprising contacting said microorganisms with a biocidal or biostatic amount of a compound having the formula: ##STR5## wherein x is about 2 to 33 and R represents hydrogen or methyl, or ##STR6##
- the present invention provides a method for killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms comprising contacting said microorganisms with a preservative comprising:
- a first component selected from the group consisting of benzoic acid, formaldehyde, a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in a ratio of about 5:1 to 1:5, benzisothiazalone, and mixtures thereof;
- a second component selected from the group of compounds having the following formula: ##STR7## and mixtures thereof; wherein said second component is present in an amount at which said second component acts synergistically with said first component to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
- the present invention provides a preservative comprising:
- a first component selected from the group consisting of a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in a ratio of about 5:1 to 1:5, benzisothiazalone, and mixtures thereof;
- the present invention provides a composition suitable for use as a personal care product or a household product, said composition beiing susceptible to contamination by microorganisms, comprising a preservative in an amount sufficient to kill or inhibit the growth of said microorganisms wherein said preservative comprises:
- the present invention provides a method for killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms comprising contacting said microorganisms with a preservative comprising a first component selected from the group consisting of a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in a ratio of about 5:1 to 1:5, benzisothiazalone, and mixtures thereof and a second component having the formula: ##STR10## wherein said second component is present in an amount at which said second component acts synergistically with said first component to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
- the present invention relates to a preservative.
- Preservatives are chemical components which either kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms and, in particular, bacteria.
- Preservatives which kill microorganisms are said to be biocidal while those that inhibit the growth of microorganisms are said to be biostatic.
- the bacteria of particular interest in the present invention are gram negative bacteria and, more particularly, those of the genus Pseudomonas.
- the preservatives presently claimed are especially effective against Pseudomonas cepacia.
- the preservatives of the present invention comprise at least two components, herein called the first component and the second component.
- the first component comprises one or more traditional preservatives.
- Some suitable traditional preservatives include benzoic acid, sorbic acid, formaldehyde, gluteraldehyde, benzisothiazalone (A), and a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (B) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (C) in a ratio of about 5:1 to 1:5, preferably 3 to 1.
- Compounds A, B and C have the following structures: ##STR11##
- Compounds B and C in a ratio of about 3:1 are sold by Rohm and Haas under the trade names Kathon CG.
- Compound A is sold by ICI under the trade name Proxel.
- the second component of the present invention comprises at least one compound which, in combination with the first component, kills or inhibits the microorganisms discussed above synergistically.
- the second component may or may not be biocidal or biostatic when used by itself.
- the first compound is biocidal or biostatic at lower concentrations than in the absence of the second compound.
- Suitable second compounds include dyes having the following formulas: ##STR12## wherein x is about 2 to 33, preferably about 5 to 33 and most preferably about 16 to 33 and R represents hydrogen or methyl, preferably methyl. This formula will be referred to as I in this application; and ##STR13##
- This compound will be referred to as II in this application.
- the preferred second compound is I wherein x is about 33 and R is methyl.
- the compounds having Formula I are blue dyes described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,137,243 to Farmer and assigned to the Milliken Research Corporation. These compounds may be prepared by treating quinizarin in water with sodium hydroxide and sodium hydrosulfite. The resulting leucoquinizarin is treated with two moles of a polyoxyethylenediamine or a polyoxypropylenediamine. The later diamines are available from the Jefferson Chemical Company under the trade name Jeffamine. The resulting product is oxidized with air. The conditions for these reactions are described in the Farmer patent in Example 2, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- mesidine II may be prepared by condensing one mole of 1,4-dichloroanthraquinone with 2 moles of mesidine sulfonate and converting the resulting product to the sodium salt.
- the structure of mesidine is 2,4,6-trimethyl-3-aminobenzenesulfonate.
- the amount of the second compound in the preservative composition is that amount which interacts synergistically with the first compound to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
- the weight ratio of the second compound to the first compound will be 1000:1 to 1:10, preferably 100:1 to 1:5, and most preferably 10:1 to 1:1.
- the preservatives are present in compositions which are susceptible to degradation due to microorganisms.
- suitable compositions include any composition in which preservatives may safely be used.
- Some suitable compositions include personal care products and household products.
- Some suitable personal care products include shampoos, hair conditioners, skin creams, suntan lotions and soaps.
- Some suitable household products include laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, hard surface cleaners and fabric softeners.
- the amount of the preservative in the composition is that amount which effectively inhibits the growth of the contaminating microorganism.
- the actual amount depends upon numerous factors. For example, one factor is the length of time the composition is to be stored. The longer the storage period, the higher the concentration of preservative.
- the concentration of the preservative is a function of the particular first component and second component combination used, of the particular microorganism to be killed or inhibited, and the particular medium in which the microorganism is growing, as well as other variables.
- the total preservative will be present in the composition in amounts from about 0.02 to 1% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 0.5% by weight and most preferably 0.075 to 0.125% by weight.
- a third embodiment of the present invention is a method for killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. It has been discovered that the second components described above unexpectedly inhibit the growth of the microorganisms described above. It is desirable, of course, to add one of the first components to the second component in order to take advantage of the synergistic effect.
- the preferred second component is I.
- the preferred synergistic combination is I and a mixture of B and C in a ratio of about 3 to 1.
- the present invention is operative at any pH. Where benzoic acid is used, the pH must be less than 7, preferably less than 5.5 and most preferably less than 4 to ensure that dissociation of the benzoic acid does not occur.
- the Gradient Plate procedure was used to determine preservative activity as measured in "Minimum Inhibitory Concentration" (MIC) values. This method was described by Janet C. Curry in the 1965 CSMA Proceedings, 52nd Annual meeting.
- a square phage-type petrie dish was prepared so as to contain a base layer of acidified TSA (Difco's Tryptic Soy Ager, adjusted to pH 4 with citric acid) hardened in the form of a wedge.
- a top layer of acidified TSA containing a specific level of preservative component was hardened with the plate in a level position. A test agent in the top layer diffuses into the base layer causing a concentration gradient on the surface.
- Preservatives were prepared having gradient plate dilutions ranging from 1,000 to 0.5 ppm of the first component and from 1,500 to 500 ppm of the second component.
- This example compares the activity of formaldehyde and benzoic acid toward Pseudomonas Cepacia grown in the formulas described in Comparatives Examples A, B and C as well as that described in Example 1.
- the method is that described in Example 2.
- the results are shown in Table 2.
- Formaldehyde exhibited an MIC of about 30 ppm on the inocula from the unpreserved Comparative Example A.
- the bacteria used in this example appears to be weaker than those used in Examples 3 to 5.
- the synergism between compounds I and II on the one hand and benzoic acid and a mixture of B and C on the other is apparent.
